Spotlight on Four Inspirational Female Australian Artists
It's International Women's Day on 8th March. We're marking the occasion by celebrating four female Australian artists and some of their most famous works.
We hope that by showcasing these artists, we can start a ripple effect. That we can get more female creatives in front of curators and into galleries — and get more of their art into our homes.
It's part of our broader efforts to ensure more women's artistic voices and experiences are heard and that we continue to reset the balance in what has traditionally been a male-dominated industry.
Yvonne Audette
Yvonne Audette was born in Sydney in 1930 and studied at New York's Art Students League during the 1950s. During that time, she lived and worked within a community of critically acclaimed artists, including Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, and Mark Rothko.
Later, Audette travelled extensively across Europe before returning to Australia to cement her career. Her paintings are held in many significant Australian collections, including the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australian National Portrait Gallery, and Tarrawarra.
Audette is widely acknowledged as one of Australia's greatest abstract painters. She was awarded Member of the Order of Australia in the Queen's 2020 Birthday Honours List for significant service to the visual arts.
Portrait of Robert Klippel (1980)
Cantata No. 17. (1968-69)
Jude Rae
Jude Rae was born in Sydney in 1956 and raised in Sydney. She studied Art History at the University of Sydney and undertook postgraduate study at COFA in 1984. Today, Rae is considered to be one of our country's most important contemporary painters.
Rae won the Portia Geach prize in 2005 and again in 2008. The National Portrait Gallery commissioned her portrait of Frank Fenner in 2007 and one of her portraits was a leading image for the National Portrait Gallery exhibition Idle Hours in 2009-2010 — and in 2016 Rae received the prestigious Bulgari Award.
Her work can be viewed in collections across Australia and New Zealand, as well as the UK and USA.
Self Portrait (2008)
SL391, Oil on linen (2021)
Tracey Moffatt is highly regarded for her experimentation in film, photography, and video. She frequently references art history and her own childhood memories and fantasies — exploring gender, sexuality, and identity issues.
Much of her work also focuses on Australian Aboriginal people and how they are perceived and represented in our society. Moffatt's work is held in collections worldwide, including Denmark, Germany, Japan, Norway and the United States.
You'll also find her works in state galleries and several regional, university and private collections across the country.
Charm Alone, 1695 (1994)
Something More #2 (1989)
Julie Rrap has worked in photography, painting, sculpture, video, and performance. She has won many awards, including the Hermann's Art Award and the Redlands Art Prize. She was born Julie Parr but reversed her name to express her sense of opposition to mainstream society.
In 1994, Transpositions (see below) covered a wall with 100 historical printed female portraits on wood. Rapp has been quoted as saying — "You can't look at an image, especially an image of a woman, with innocent eyes." In this work, she dares us to consciously check our glances at these women and consider the narrative and dialogue we create with the work.
Eiko (2000)
Transpositions (1994)
A Final Thought: Women in Art — Past, Present & Future
We hope you've enjoyed getting to know four of our national treasures — award-winning, trend setting, genre defining and boundary pushing female artists that put women's voices right where they should be; at the centre of our country's modern cultural movement.
As a nation, we've come a long way, but we still have further to go. We'll leave you with the now-famous quote from The Guerrilla Girls, a group of activist artists:
"Do women have to be naked to get into the Met? Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art Sections are women, but 85% of the nudes are female."
It's something worth contemplating this International Women's Day — and the next time we visit a gallery or buy a print.

Artwork of the week #2
Mäda Primavesi by Gustav Klimt (1912). Mäda Primavesi was immortalised in this portrait when she was just nine years old. Wearing white, Klimt deliberately draws you to her confident gaze — Mäda demands to be noticed and heard.
Ocean Life by Christian Schussele (1824–1879); James M. Sommerville (1825–1899). Ocean Life is one of the earliest examples of an American underwater illustration. It was originally created as a scientific study. But the beautiful colours, exotic plants and animals...

Marie Hanlon is a Dublin-based Irish artist working in a variety of media including painting, drawing, sculpture, video and installation. She has collaborated with Irish composers, most notably Rhona Clarke, in creating works which can be realised in both concert performance and gallery situations.

Hanlon received her early education from the Brigidine Sisters, Goresbridge, Co. Kilkenny and later graduated from University College, Dublin (1977) with a BA in English and History of European Painting. In 2018 she received an MA from The National College of Art & Design, Dublin. Hanlon was elected to Aosdána in 2015; Aosdána is the cultural body which recognises major and sustained contribution to the arts in Ireland.

Artistic practice

In 1988, Hanlon became a member of WAAG – Women Artists Action Group (1987–1991). She exhibited with the group in their first and only show in Ireland, Art Beyond Barriers at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 1989 (Cummins, 1989). Hanlon's first solo show was in Temple Bar Gallery in 1993. By now her works had begun to demonstrate a stylistic approach, which is simultaneously geometric and lyrical, their reduced elements tautly balanced and "characteristically subtle in the handling of tone, texture and composition." (Finlay, 1997) "The paintings are like poems or pieces of music, at once tentative and sensual, yet highly structured." (Benson, 2004)

"Forms are repeated in the paintings but rarely in exactly the same way. It is the repetition which gives the work its rhythm, a kind of pulse is established by stating and restating the idea. However, as soon as a pattern is set up it is quickly subverted and transformed, the beat changes as it were, giving the work greater complexity and interest." (Clarke, 2009)

Critic Gavin Weston has described "works that are paradoxically structurally contained yet emotionally expansive." (Weston, 2004)

Collaborations and recent work
Affinities with music in Hanlon's work led to new developments and an expanded practice. Two significant exhibitions in 2014 involved collaborations with several contemporary Irish composers; Everything we see… at Solstice Arts Centre (2014) included works made with composers, Grainne Mulvey, Jane O' Leary, Rhona Clarke and Emma O'Halloran. The show occupied all three of Solstice's upper galleries and in the foyer, an installation of thirty-eight drawings further explored links between music and line. Mary Cremin observes 'The mark-making of notation [musical] and its relationship to drawing is the beginning of exchange between composer and artist'.

DIC TAT at Draíocht Centre for the Arts (2014) was a two-person show by Hanlon and composer Rhona Clarke. In this exhibition, a metronome provided basic pulse material from which sound and visual elements were derived. A group of drawings 'dictated' by various metronome beats were documented in real-time and shown on a two-channel video. 'The narrow margin of space for deliberation remains confined to the intervals between beats.' Rowan Sexton

A further development of Hanlon's collaborative practice is video for live performance; Richard O'Donnell and The Royal Irish Academy Percussion Ensemble commissioned Behind closed Doors (2016) for the Tambourimba Percussion Festival, Cali, Colombia; music by Rhona Clarke, video Marie Hanlon. In 2019 accordionist Dermot Dunne played live to a screening of The Small Hours (2019) Shatin Town Hall, Hong Kong, music Rhona Clarke, video Marie Hanlon.

Hanlon's exhibition (2019) It's All About Books, The Cregan Library,  Dublin City University, explored the book as art object, Irish Times critic Aidan Dunne wrote ''Even when her approach is playful, as it often is, what we see is imbued with what might be described as a threat of nullity, the disappearance or cancellation of meaning.'

'It's All About Books manifests the artists ongoing exploration of the 'complexities of seeing', inviting viewers to variously consider: What kind of seeing occurs when we read.' Material Knowledge: The Book as Artistic Device, Joanne Laws, It's All About Books, 2019.

The next invasive garden threat? A slithering, jumping worm
by Jessica Damiano
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain
Just when you think you've become accustomed to the spotted lanternfly invasion, along comes another menace to the ecosystem: the Asian jumping worm.
Allow me to introduce you to Amynthas agrestis, also known as "Alabama jumper," "Jersey wriggler" and the rude-but-accurate "crazy worm." Unlike garden-variety earthworms, these flipping, thrashing, invasive miscreants are ravenous consumers of humus, the rich, organic, essential top layer of soil formed by dead and decaying small animals, insects and leaf litter in places like forests, plant nurseries and your garden.
Plants, fungi and other soil life cannot survive without humus, and "Asian jumping worms can eat all of it," Sarah Farmer of the U.S. Forest Service wrote in a USDA Southern Research Center blog post published in May.
A decline in humus would also threaten birds and other wildlife that depend on soil-dwelling insects for food.
The insatiable invertebrates, native to east-central Asia, are believed to have been introduced to the United States in the late 1800s, likely as hitchhikers in potted plants. But their existence went largely unnoticed—or perhaps underreported—until the past decade, when ecologists flagged them as problematic, according to Dr. Timothy McCay, a biology and environmental studies professor at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York.
Since then, the worms' presence has been confirmed in 35 states across the country.
Although their annual life cycle ends in winter, Asian jumping worm cocoons survive to spawn a new generation in spring. Their tiny eggs are nearly impossible to notice in soil or mulch, but adult worms, which range from 3 to 8 inches long, are easy to spot close to the soil surface and can often be seen moving under mulch or leaf litter, McCay said.
As they devour their way through the soil, the worms leave two things behind: cocoons and castings. The cocoons are tiny and soil-colored, so they are easy to miss. However, the castings, or excrement, have a granular, coffee-ground texture that will alert you to their presence.
The glossy worms can be either gray or brown, with a smooth cream or white collar that wraps entirely around part of their bodies. When touched, they thrash from side to side, jump, and may even slither back and forth like a snake. That behavior, coupled with their ability to reproduce rapidly without a mate, gives them an advantage over predators, McCay said.
"Robins and other birds, shrews, garter snakes, and amphibians like toads may not be able to effectively suppress their populations," he said.
McCay, whose research focuses on understanding how the worms invade intact forests, and their effect on forest biodiversity, cautions that "gardeners should do what they can to avoid spreading jumping worms to new areas." Because the worms typically move into forests from nearby gardens, he said, control in home and community gardens is necessary to slow their invasion into natural habitats.
So during this season of plant dividing and swapping, gardeners must be vigilant. Keep an eye out for the worms' castings, a tell-tale sign of their presence. Inspect the soil clinging to plant roots and in the ground surrounding them. In addition, McCay advises, do not dispose of waste from infected gardens into nearby forests, and share only plants that have been repotted after their roots have been cleaned of clinging soil.
Unfortunately, there are no good control measures available for established populations of jumping worms. But McCay said picking them out by hand and dropping them into containers of vinegar will reduce their numbers. He knows of one gardener in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, who removed 51,000 worms that way in 2021.

Cub Sport Announce 2019 National Tour, Share New Single 'Party Pill'
Written by Tom Williams on January 11, 2019
Cub Sport have announced their biggest headline tour to date, which will see the pop darlings tour across Australia this April, off the back of their forthcoming self-titled third album.
The group will play some huge venues in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Fremantle and Adelaide — including an under-18s matinee show in their native Brisbane — after the album drops on 18th January.
The tour announcement comes on the heels of the band's new single 'Party Pill', the second track to be taken from their upcoming album (following 'Sometimes').
According to a statement from the band, 'Party Pill' is inspired by the experiences of singer Tim Nelson, as he began falling in love with his bandmate Sam Netterfield (the pair married in August), but attempted to hide it from himself and those around him.
"Sam and I first fell in love when we were 17 but I was super scared of what would happen if I came out and decided it'd be better for us to just be friends," Nelson said.
"This part of our story had been weighing on my heart for a long time and I'd held onto a lot of shame and embarrassment, but I realised last year that I needed to let go.
"So, I finally turned the pain of those years into something beautiful and it feels like I'm setting myself free."
The video for 'Party Pill' also marks Cub Sport's directorial debut. Watch the clip below, alongside the group's upcoming national tour dates.

The convergence of two or more branches into a single subsequent branch such that the thread of control is passed to the subsequent branch when all input branches have been enabled.
The despatch-goods task runs immediately after both the check-invoice and produce-invoice tasks are completed.
Cash-drawer reconciliation can only occur when the store has been closed and the credit card summary has been printed.
Synchronization provides a means of reconverging the execution threads of two or more parallel branches. In general, these branches are created using the Parallel Split (AND-split) construct earlier in the process model. The thread of control is passed to the task immediately following the synchronizer once all of the incoming branches have completed.
The behaviour of the Synchronization pattern is illustrated by the CP-net model in Figure 3. The pattern contains an implicit AND-join, known as the synchronizer, which is considered to be activated once it receives input on one of the incoming branches (i.e. at places p1 or p2). Similarly it is considered to be reset (and hence can be re-enabled) once input has been received on each incoming branch and the synchronizer has fired, removing these tokens.
This pattern has the following context condition: once the synchronizer has been activated and has not yet been reset, it is not possible for another signal to be received on the activated branch or for multiple signals to be received on any incoming branch. In other words, all input places to the synchronizer (e.g. p1 and p2) are safe.
Similar to the Parallel Split pattern, the synchronizer can either be represented explicitly or implicitly in a process model. Staffware has an explicit AND-join construct as does SAP Workflow, EPCs, BPMN, and XPDL. Other offerings - WebSphere MQ, FLOWer, COSA, iPlanet and BPEL - represent this pattern implicitly through multiple incoming (and unconditional) control edges to a task. Only when each of these arcs has received the thread of control can the task be enabled. UML 2.0 ADs allow it to be represented in both ways.
The use of the Synchronization pattern can potentially give rise to a deadlock in the situation where one of the incoming branches fails to deliver a thread of control to the join construct. This could be a consequence of a design error or that one of the tasks in the branch failing to complete successfully (e.g. as a consequence of it experiencing some form of exception) or because the thread of control is passed outside of the branch.
None of the offerings examined provide support for resolving this issue where the problem is caused by task failure in one of the incoming branches. Where this pattern is used in a structured context, the second possible cause of deadlock generally does not arise.
Staffware 10 + Supported through the wait step construct. Note that the wait step has one preceding step (solid line) and possibly multiple steps it is waiting for (dashed lines). The difference between the preceding step and the steps it is waiting for becomes only visible in a loop situation. In a loop the wait step only waits for the preceding step (solid line) and no longer has to wait for the other steps. The only way to get a "normal" synchronization is a loop is to explicitly reset the step in a loop using the "SETSETSTATUS" function.
FLOWer 3.51 + Nodes in static, dynamic and sequential subplans have an AND-join semantics.
COSA 5.1 + Supported by multiple incoming arcs to an activity. None of the arcs have transition conditions specified.
iPlanet 3.0 + Supported by specifying a trigger condition for an activity with multiple incoming routers that only fires when all routers are activated.
SAP Workflow 4.6c + Directly supported via the fork construct. However, there has to be a one-to-one correspondence between split and join.
FileNet 3.5 + Directly supported by a component the incoming routing info of which is set to "collector step".
BPEL 1.1 + Supported by <flow> construct.
Websphere Integration Developer 6.0 + Supported by the <flow> activity.
Oracle BPEL 10.1.2 + Supported by the <flow> construct.
BPMN 1.0 + Supported by AND-join gateway.
XPDL 2.0 + Supported by the AND-join construct.
UML ADs 2.0 + Supported by the JoinNode construct. It can also be implicitly represented.
EPC (implemented by ARIS toolset 6.2) + Supported by the AND-join connector.
ii) if the tasks to be synchronized are defined within the same Task Node, the node itself will act as synchronizer of its tasks.
OpenWFE 1.7.3 + OpenWFE is a block structured language. The closing tag </concurrence> for a concurrence block implements synchronization.
ii) a routing activity node with a transition restriction <Join Type = "AND"> which synchronizes all source activities of incoming transitions.

Florida's citrus industry is hurting in a big way. The final report of the growing season by the U.S. Department of Agriculture put Florida orange…
Oranges: Secret Agents Of The Food World
Like an international secret agent, the zest of tangerines and mandarins and oranges finds its way into Szechuan stir-fries, Mesopotamian couscous and Iberian sweets.
Time Is Running Out To Save Florida's Oranges
Scientists and growers are in a bitter fight against citrus greening, a disease that has devastated Florida's orange and grapefruit crops. They fear that unless scientists find a cure for greening soon, it's just a matter of time before economic realities and the disease force growers out of business.
Can The Smell Of Oranges Help Dieters Resist Sweet Treats?
A British researcher was curious to know whether smell could help fend off temptation. Her study found that the scent of fresh oranges seemed to help remind dieters to eat less chocolate.

Chaos Domain
Now only: £4.61
Chaos Domain is a game about shooting bad people in the face.
Apart from that, it is also a run 'n' gun platformer, powered by the Unreal Engine. The game is highly influenced by games from 8-bit and 16-bit era, including Contra/Probotector series, as well as titles like Abuse and Doom Troopers.
The game is set on a huge spaceship occupied by chaos cultists, where the main character (who clearly looks like a hi-tech version of the god Anubis) must kill everyone in sight. The game is obviously not story-driven, it's all about action.

Dawn… and I can hear a shuffling sound, then something like the quiet hush you hear from the wings before a concert. A moment's silence and then the sound swells… a rabble of sparrows with loud chatter, exchanging stories… what happened in the night, and plans for the day ahead. A light rain means the grass seeds will be soft.
Now others start in: the soft tinkling of thornbills, the lower zitting of a wren, and the high psirrups of silvereyes eating plums from the tree on the corner. All this a nearby treble to the deep double whoop of a koel, high in a plane tree a few streets away.
These songs quieten as the liquid piping of a magpie fills the moist morning air. The throbbing of a pigeon provides a steady bass.
It's summer and 6am in Canberra's Ainslie. I have just moved house from a few suburbs away, and am surprised to discover different morning sounds. No more wattle bird, currawong or turtle dove, but there… I can hear a chuckling friar bird. This one must be a late riser. I don't miss the plaintive early-morning cry of my neighbour's captive quail at all.
Each of us is enriched and enlivened by the natural world that surrounds us. In a different, wonderful way, every day. We take it for granted. It's our habitat.
A new and inspiring exhibition is about to take over the main galleries of Canberra Museum and Gallery. Bush Capital: a natural history of the ACT will draw together objects, images, sounds and much more from the habitat where I write, 'suburbia', and five other habitats besides. This will be a rare opportunity to immerse ourselves all-at-once in the diversity, beauty and curious nature of our natural world. It is also an opportunity to reflect on our own place in this environment.
Social History Curator, Rowan Henderson, has worked hand-in-glove with local naturalist Ian Fraser, and with the support of experts and enthusiasts across the ACT, to shape this intriguing exhibition.
We of the human species have been slow to recognise the limits and superb balance of the natural systems that surround us. We've been even slower to see our local commitments as part of the global community's responsibility to preserve the quality of life we enjoy today for future generations.
As a community, a jurisdiction, and a region, we in the ACT are stewards to some of the highest quality and most diverse ecosystems in the world. We also host some of the most threatened species and ecosystems. Community action, together with the work of the ACT Government, has blessed us with some protection and improvement in the health of these ecosystems and the species they harbour. There is much to feel proud of. However the continued health of our environment now depends on our ability to act effectively in a broader regional and global context.
We know a better appreciation of our immediate environment can enrich our understanding of ourselves, but it is an urgent and relatively new necessity that we now understand how our local 'patch' interacts with the whole of our planet.
In conjunction with the exhibition CMAG will screen live tweets from @CBRNatureMap, a citizen-led portal for the reporting, mapping and identification of local plant species – rare, common, native and exotic, as well as reptiles & frogs, birds and butterflies. And there is a range of exciting programs we have planned with the ACT Parks and Conservation Service that will take place both inside, and outside of, the museum habitat.
Bush Capital: a natural history of the ACT promises to be a fascinating introduction to the patches in our neighbourhood, some of which you may never have encountered before. CMAG would love to hear from you about how it inspires you to appreciate them, and to ask how we can better preserve their future. I encourage you to listen to the birds outside your window. What do they ask?
Bush Capital: a natural history of the ACT is at CMAG from Sat 12 March 2016.
